Internacional faces financial deficit and transfer ban risks
Sport Club Internacional is facing significant financial and administrative challenges. The club's Deliberative Council recently rejected a proposal to advance the 2026 elections, maintaining the General Assembly for December 12. The first round of voting for the council is scheduled for November 9, with the winner of the second round set to preside over the club for the 2027-2029 term.
Financially, the club reported a first-semester deficit of R$ 160 million, exceeding the budgeted R$ 109.3 million. Management attributed this to reduced gross revenue, specifically citing the lack of a master sponsor and lower-than-expected player sales.
Additionally, Internacional faces the risk of multiple transfer bans. The club is currently under a FIFA sanction due to unpaid obligations regarding the transfer of player Ramon from Olympiacos. Furthermore, debts totaling approximately R$ 117 million related to the National Dispute Resolution Chamber (CNRD), civil, and labor processes could lead to up to five additional transfer bans. The club's administration has acknowledged a projected debt liability of over R$ 200 million over the next two years.
